Unknown album for me, but it was a good listen. No real outstanding tracks, but I liked the overall feel of the album. Not sure if I will go back to it.

Endtroducing.....

DJ Shadow

4/5

Instrumentals that keep you engaged and keep suprising. Organ Doner as a stand-out track, among others. Good album, definitely coming back to it.

My Generation

The Who

3/5

Good early rock album, with some nice blues influences. Besides the major hit, I don't think I'll come back to this album.

Nice album, not the best Neil Young I have heard

Experimental and fun listen. Nice to know where the Slim Shady line came from, but does not have a lot of replay value.

Safe As Milk

Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band

3/5

Either Or

Elliott Smith

3/5

Good songwriting and nice songs. No real outliers for me.

Electric Ladyland

Jimi Hendrix

I knew the hits, but songs like Voodoo Chile are just wow. Listening to this album in full made me appreciatie him much more.

Beyond Skin

Nitin Sawhney

3/5

Suprising listening, I liked the different influences of western and eastern music styles and the up tempo drums in some of the songs. As a whole, not I project I will return to.

Rings Around The World

Super Furry Animals

2/5

No idea what I was listening to

Yeezus

Kanye West

5/5

Had this album on repeat when it was released. Over 10 years later and I put it on repeat again. The production on this album is so diverse and fresh, always gets me hyped. For me not the best Kanye album (I like the old kanye...). But still nothing less than a full hit: 5/5.

Out Of The Blue

Electric Light Orchestra

4/5

A lot of energy in the beginning, which was fun. But then it is a bit more nice and mellow, with the bangers making it a very good ending.

Tapestry

Carole King

4/5

Nice songs, nice album. Could listen to this any day. Only a little more variation would be better

Sulk

The Associates

2/5

Awesome instrumentals: great baselines, synths and some physicadellic touches to make it different. I do sometimes wish that this was a instrumental album, the vocals were a bit to much at sometimes.

American Beauty

Grateful Dead

3/5

Chill and nice album. You can listen to it five times in a row with realising it, no real outstanding lyrics or instrumentals, but good album overall.

The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators

The 13th Floor Elevators

3/5

Awesome coverart. Fun Psychadelic Rock, but no real outstanding songs.

2/5

A bit too much for me.

Kings Of The Wild Frontier

4/5

No idea what it is about, but awesome sounds. Want to learn more about A História De Jorge.

5/5

Fleetwood Mac gotta be good. Tried not let Sara en Tusk lead my review, and they didn’t.. What makes you thinks you're the one! I know I am not Wrong! Bangers.

Horses

Patti Smith

4/5

I was suprised by Patti. Very intense songs, but some worked very well. Favorites are Gloria: and Horses:

Lots of different and fun sounds, but not my thing.

2/5

Loved the beginning tracks of the album, with A Trick Of The Light as a highlight. Left the door open, closed mine for this album tho. Sounds like a church song? Still some nice mellow songs later in the album.

Me and Juliooooooo, absolute banger. A few more highlights during the album, it loses my interest a bit in the end.

Röyksopp

4/5

Poor leno..... What a jam, love those cowbells. This album has a lot of different sounds, but all very relaxed. Melody A.M. is the perfect name.

2/5

Cool concept, impossible to listen to. Liked some of the trumpet songs tho.

Rum Sodomy & The Lash

The Pogues

3/5

Listened to a 1hour+ Irish Punk album without it getting anoying. That's a win for the Pogues, but they didn't win me over.

Very relaxed listen, but gets anoyning after a 2nd or 3rd listen.

Stand!

Sly & The Family Stone

4/5

Only knew everyday people from this album and mostly the funky songs of Sly. This album suprised me, this band has a lot more to offer!

Marvin Gaye

5/5

The intro of the title song starts a groove that doesn't stop, just an awesome album.

Willie Nelson

2/5

Willie Nelson, I can imagine why people like this. But not for me.

Baaba Maal

2/5

Supporter of world music on this list, but this did not do it for me. Olel had some fun vibes tho.

Happy Trails

Quicksilver Messenger Service

3/5

This album was quite a Journey. It started with a banger, after that there was a lot of "what am I listening to". Mona and Who Do You Love are definitely the highlights.

White Blood Cells

The White Stripes

4/5

Black Sabbath has an awesome and mysterious sound. N.I.B. is my favorite of the album, great guitar riff and solo.

Never heard of her, but it is a lovely album. Shadowboxer is my favorite, also like The Child is Gone.

Want Two

Rufus Wainwright

1/5

Very theatrical. Not my thing.

Jagged Little Pill

Alanis Morissette

3/5

Didn't knew I knew this. Some 90s bangers on this album and I like the vibe of the album. Especially the opening song and the first part of the album, the way of signing gets a bit anoying at the end/repeated listens.

4/5

Best hiphop album? Probably not. But it's Snoop doggy dogg!
